A random collection of over 1910 books and audiobooks authored by or about my transgender, intersex sisters, and gender-nonconforming persons all over the world. I read some of them, and I was inspired by some of them. I met some of the authors and heroines, some of them are my best friends, and I had the pleasure and honor of interviewing some of them. If you know of any transgender biography that I have not covered yet, please let me know.
Original title: "Worden wie je bent: het leven van transgenders in Nederland" (Becoming who you are: the lives of transgender people in the Netherlands) by Saskia Keuzenkamp.
Some people are born male, but feel they are female. And some are born as women, but feel like men. Many of these transgender people decide at some point in their lives to have their gender changed through hormones and surgery. More attention has been paid to this group in recent years, also in government policy. But little is known about how they are doing.
At what age do they become aware of their 'transness'? How open are they about it and what reactions does that generate? What is their psychological health like?
